Calico feather mask

This mask is easy, quick and looks great.It reminds me of a calico cat, hence
the name.

You will need:

Bag of feathers in rust, white, brown and black

Paper mache mask (available in craft stores)

Tacky craft glue

Scissors

Small amount of cream beaded trim (about 12 inches depending
upon the size of the eye holes)

3 gold rhinestones

3 clear triangle rhinestones

One larger gold cabochon (for the nose area)

1.Run a bead of glue around the mask and add
feathers one at a time overlapping and laying the feathers in the same
direction.(See photo)Start gluing the feathers around each
eye and work around until the entire mask is covered.You may have to cut any thick shafts.Bend the feathers to fit around the
curves.

2.Use the scissors to trim any wild feather pieces.Make sure you trim closely around the eyeholes
an under the nose area.Let dry.

3.Measure around the top part of the eyehole, and
cut a piece of cream colored beaded trim to fit.Repeat for the bottom part, meeting at the edges.Let dry.Repeat for other eye.

4.Use the glue to attach 3 gold rhinestones up the
center.Add three more clear triangle
rhinestones on the top edge, and each upper corner.Finally add some glue right on the center of the nose tip
and add the larger gold cabochon. (See photo for placement)
